• “No longer will older Americans be denied the healing miracle of modern medicine. No longer will illness crush and destroy the savings that they have so carefully put away over a lifetime so that they might enjoy dignity in their later years.”

  –President Lyndon Baines Johnson, Remarks at the Signing of the Medicare Bill,
  July 30, 1965
